    Happy Harvest!

     It’s harvest soon - officially falling on Sunday 30th September this year - which is the time when we traditionally celebrate all the fabulous food that’s been grown across the land and fill halls and centres with the very best of the season. So what better way to mark the occasion than with one of our fresh vegetable or salad boxes? 

    We know at Parsnips and Pears that many schools will be planning their very own festivals; decorating their gymnasiums and the local church with produce plucked straight from the ground, or popping in to see their neighbours with tasty baskets of food.    

    So why not let us help this harvest time? It’s right up our street after all! We have five tasty vegetable boxes to give away in support of your event! If your school is based in the NG4 – 6 and NG8 – NG16 postcode areas, drop us a line by 26th September if you’d like us to enter your school into our prize draw.

    And to celebrate the launch of Parsnips and Pears this September, we’re running our first competition! To be in with a chance to win a fantastic prize, and if your school is in the NG4 – 6 and NG8 – NG16 postcode areas, all you have to do to enter is:  

    • Draw, paint or make a picture of your favourite vegetable (Infants)
    • Write a short story telling us what is your favourite vegetable and why (Juniors)

    Send your vegetable box nominations and competition entries by Wednesday 26th September to:

    50 St Marys Gate, Nottingham, NG1 1QA or competitions@parsnipsandpears.co.uk

    We can’t wait to hear from you!
